Recognizing Growth in your Recovery Journey
Recovery is rarely linear, and progress often comes through small, meaningful steps. The Honoring Your Progress Worksheet invites you to pause each morning and reflect on the actions, choices, or mindset shifts that brought you closer to your goals the day before.
By acknowledging these moments, you begin to shift focus from self-criticism to self-compassion. This practice helps retrain your mind to notice effort over perfection, reminding you that healing is built one intentional step at a time.
This worksheet can be used as a standalone daily reflection or alongside therapy, journaling, or other self-care tools as part of a consistent mindfulness routine.
Why Honoring Progress Supports Recovery
In eating disorder recovery, it’s easy to overlook significant moments of strength. Recognizing progress, no matter how small, can help:
- Build self-confidence and reinforce recovery-oriented behaviors
- Challenge critical thoughts with self-compassion and perspective
- Strengthen motivation through daily acknowledgment of growth
- Encourage gratitude and mindfulness in everyday life
By reflecting on what went well rather than what went wrong, you train your brain to focus on resilience.
What’s Inside the Worksheet
The Honoring Your Progress Worksheet provides a simple, repeatable structure for reflection, with daily prompts to record small achievements, mindset shifts, or acts of self-care each day. This worksheet supports you in:

- Self-Compassion Focus: Helps you separate your inner critic from your recovery voice, emphasizing effort over outcomes.

Use this worksheet each morning to honor your progress with honesty and kindness. These reflections can help you see just how hard you’re working—and remind you that recovery is not defined by speed, but by courage and persistence.
“Food journaling is not about perfection — it’s about awareness. Each note you write is a step toward understanding your body, your needs, and your healing process.”
